18 threads=2 is a nice option to try in most circumstances. :)

20 You should also make sure that XVideo is set up correctly (if that's
21 what you're using).
22 `xvinfo` will inform you of that.
23 Try some other -vo options.
24
25 You should also try media-video/mplayer (which is a separate project)
26
27 The console output from mplayer2 itself would also help.
28
29 Finally, your lspci output would be more useful if you ran
30 `update-pciids` beforehand.
